Some of the nicest tailored jackets come with a Bemberg lining, and it's wonderful because it breathes. You did a great job with the shortening, and this is a fab little outfit. I hear you on washing things out everyday. I love how the wrinkles just fall out of rayon when you hang it to dry.</p> <p>Is there enough of the fabric leftover from your alteration to do anything with? You could make a floaty tank out of it, or even just the front of a tank and use another fabric on the back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-floaty-flea-market-frock#post-697037 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 16:47:17 +0000 Jonesy 697037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the color on you, and the dress looks perfect for a super-hot August day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-floaty-flea-market-frock#post-696994 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 14:54:40 +0000 Suz 696994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous, Rae!

It's got kind of that 90s shape i see in a lot of dresses when i'm out thrifting. Beautiful color and you styled it so nicely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-floaty-flea-market-frock#post-696932 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 12:30:34 +0000 Anonymous 696932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That color is fantastic on you, Rae! And I love the dress with the denim jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-floaty-flea-market-frock#post-696922 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 11:29:15 +0000 Anonymous 696922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love rayon. Is sooooo cooling!<br /> I think the frock is fantastic and I love that bag and the crazy pattern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-floaty-flea-market-frock#post-696916 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 11:12:51 +0000 Jjsloane 696916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great color on you and the drape of rayon (it looks a bit like Tencel?) is perfect for hot days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-floaty-flea-market-frock#post-696914 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 10:43:38 +0000 Krista 696914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was too busy looking at your wickedly awesome outfit to notice whether or not the dress is flattering.</p> <p>.... which it is, btw. You can totally carry it off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-floaty-flea-market-frock#post-696912 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 10:38:52 +0000 Mochi 696912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You made fantastic flea market scores. That dress is well proportioned and is awesome, not to mention the shoes, and it all works together great (and keeps you cool!). </p> <p>Heh. Since I'm already being fixated, I may as well point out that your cute dress's cut and color remind me, in an overal and very flattering way, of this dress: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-floaty-flea-market-frock#post-696904 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 09:39:41 +0000 Deborah 696904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae this looks like a great little warm weather dress. Fit, color all work for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-floaty-flea-market-frock#post-696898 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 08:54:39 +0000 Vildy 696898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it a lot. My two GoTo dresses for high humidity and heat are both the same kind<br /> of silky, floaty rayon. Rayon, remember, will shrink some even in cold water, supposedly every time. I'd hand wash, briefly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-floaty-flea-market-frock#post-696895 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 08:35:37 +0000 CocoLion 696895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why would this not be flattering? I think it's flattering actually. I am on a little break from cross body bags, but this dress is like a blank canvas screaming for one! Not that your new statement print bag isn't fab! Just an idea for another way to accessorize your new bemberg baby.</p> <p>ETA -- and yes, this heat is just incredible. It's been around 100 since late July up here. Several times I have become dizzy from the heat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-floaty-flea-market-frock#post-696866 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 05:55:53 +0000 Laura B. 696866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So cute! Rayon is fast becoming my favorite fabric for ridiculously hot summer weather, it's more affordable than silk, but almost as cooling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-floaty-flea-market-frock#post-696857 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 05:31:51 +0000 Marley 696857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think its really cute Rae! And, I love that jacket - you say you got it at a flea market? I still want to go with you one day and observe you in action! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-floaty-flea-market-frock#post-696855 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 05:26:05 +0000 rae 696855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This isn't the most flattering dress, but it sure is light and airy in the heat. Since I've been having to wash a dress a day to keep up with all the gross sweat, I had to pick this baby up on my last swap meet trip. The fabric is "bemberg" -- apparently a type of rayon that imitates silk. Never heard of it before, but I like it! Came as a full-length dress and got hacked off at home. I wish I could find more things in this fabrication!</p> <p>Rust dress - flea market<br /> Diesel jacket - flea market<br /> Bullet pendant - gift :)<br /> bag - flea market<br /> rope sandals - flea market </p>
